Police have cordoned off a home on Forbes Avenue in Burlington Thursday evening following the stabbing death of a 38-year-old woman.

Our media partners at WCVB/The Boston Channel have confirmed the victim to be Kristen Pulisciano of 23 Forbes Ave., Burlington.

The Middlesex County District Attorney's office confirmed that they are investigating a "suspicious death" at the house. No one was in custody, a spokeswoman told WCVB.

Burlington Police said District Attorney Gerry Leone will likely make an official statement later this evening.

At 9:30 p.m., a bulletin notified area police to be on the lookout for Christopher Piantedosi, 39, who was last seen operating a 2010 brown Honda Civic. The bulletin indicated that he may have a knife in his possession.

Many neighbors stood outside while the police guarded and processed the crime scene.

"I've grown up and lived in Burlington and in this house for over 50 years, and you see this stuff on TV, but never think it could happen in your own neighborhood or community," said neighbor Joe Costanzo. "This is a good neighborhood and nothing like this has ever happened."

Neighbors who gathered on Forbes Avenue Thursday night said they have seen police at the home before.
